Yea ok. Most of the goons I was/am playing with were planning on moving to officials when they came up. No matter what happened on your server.

We used your server to dick around and to learn the building mechanics. I warned you that destroying goon forts will make people leave. Now look, its dead except for the two players you kicked from your in-game clan for playing too much.

Lol just lol.

This discussion about playing the game like a Korean MMO grinder makes me kind of hope they do away with the leveling system and maybe implement a component system similar to what Rust has now.

I just feel like in a sandbox, people should just play the game how they want. I don't ever think there is a "wrong" way to play an open sandbox game so long as it's within the defined parameters of that sandbox.

I dunno man, if you play in a sandbox in a way that causes all the people that are supposed to be your friends to up and leave because you are behaving like an anti-social dick to not just pubies but them to I think you might be doing it wrong. I guess theres no accounting for taste though.

Right. Also if you read my post you would also notice that I wasn't telling goons on how to play. But on what is the most efficient for PvP servers at the current state of the game.

There Is 1 server per 3 players, which means there are a ton of places you can play that fits your style. Just on official pvp you need to get the most valuable resource, experience, the fastest way possible. Because anything you create will be destroyed but your levels will remain.

If you don't like open world survival games don't buy this. It's pretty good for one of those but it very much is still one of those.

I suppose what I don't understand is that in a sandbox, you can do the same thing to me that I can do for you, but I don't get upset about it, because turnabout is fair play.

Player cap will get increased when they think the servers are stable enough to support it. No word on clan size tho.

I have my own server for my real friends and I to be pals and build our autismal palaces and enslaved only shirtless ladies but I also go onto other servers and make the most ugly retard idiot who has nothing but strength, health and stamina. I run around full idiot retard and attack anyone and anything.

My base always consists of like dozens of torches and camp sites that I get burning to a high intensity and I stand in the circle spamming them chat with "REEEEEEEEE" and fight anyone who comes into my fire circle

Anyway, is there any point to fences? I keep building them because I am afraid of crocodiles climbing up to my Island of Cowardice but I have no idea if they impede mobs or what.

Naw there's zero protection in conan. Anything and everything can be destroyed rather easily. That's why I advise people to not build anything but some t1 stairs to the top of a huge mesa and plop down crafting stations. Shrines and thrall pits can go right next to NPC camps because they either are invincible or take a crap ton of explosive jars.

Fences are cool and good for when you want to build an alarmingly high skywalk but the server still rubberbands from time to time.

There's no charge attacks or magic or anything yet so really it's more left click attack right click block. It's serviceable and I don't hate it but it is a means to an end and not something I particularly love about the game

Vvvv I should have said no special attacks, you can charge and do a big attack but that's really it

I had my first real experience with getting hosed up from the ground up and on 3x it's really not bad since you keep your level and can relocate/rebuild pretty drat quick. So I was a little salty for a minute but got over it. It taught me how to not build to be vulnerable to just a few jars. But gently caress that on 1x gathering.

I regret buying this game because it has the problem that all survival games have: whoever spends the most time playing can run the whole server. It's not even about pvp skill, it's just about offline attacking every base you see so no one can get a foothold and a base with a design you saw on youtube.

The Conan theme is great and all, the gods and slaves are kind of cool but there isn't really enough to make it different or overcome the survival game issues. It's also really nice that the focus is more towards melee than ranged combat than games like Rust. Unfortunately I have no idea how to fix the universal balance issues, though.

It does strike me as funny that the original plan for the goon server was have a two day locked server head start to level up and build up so the goon superiority against pubbies could never be challenged. And then the admins' clan locked their discord channel so other goons couldn't chat with them, constantly raided the other goon clans base at 6 AM for a few days and then wondered why no one wanted to play with them.
